State to push sports tourism attraction

State to push sports tourism attraction

THE Penang Government will focus on sports tourism to lure foreign tourists to the state.

State Tourism Development and Culture Committee chairman Danny Law said they hoped to organise some sport events on a larger scale from next year.

He said there was a vast opportunity for sports tourism, especially with several direct flights between Penang and Singapore launched earlier this year.

SIA quits Penang-Singapore route

SIA quits Penang-Singapore route after 30 years

After three decades of serving the Penang-Singapore air route, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has finally called it a day.

SIA decided to terminate its flights between the two islands on Dec 1 with the emergence of several budget airlines on the route.

“The mushrooming of the budget airlines in this region had eroded the traditional airline market, like the Penang-Singapore sector,” an industry insider said.

SilkAir, SIA’s regional wing, has taken over the route. SilkAir now flies three times daily between the two islands.
